Job description

Job ID: 10523822 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Our team is planning a greenfield SAP S/4HANA implementation to support our organization. You will help design and deliver an ERP that connects finance, accounting, supply chain, procurement, and the shop floor into a single digital thread. We are committed to building the right way from the start: a clean-core approach, standard-first configuration, and an architecture meant to scale with the business.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end solution architecture for the SAP finance and controllership domains on S/4HANA, translating business-process requirements into a coherent, scalable design.
• Partner with Accounting, Finance, and FP&A leaders to work backwards from financial-close, controls, and management-reporting requirements, and convert them into SAP configuration, the finance data model, and integration designs the delivery team can build.
• Own the integration architecture connecting SAP FICO to its upstream and downstream systems (billing, procurement, product costing, the manufacturing stack, and the reporting and data‑lake layer), establishing a single source of truth for financial data.
• Lead SAP standard-versus-custom decisions, favoring configuration and clean-core extensions on BTP over core modifications, and evaluate system-integrator proposals with deep technical judgment on controls, auditability, upgrade-safety, and long-term maintainability.
• Build financial controls, segregation of duties, and audit and compliance requirements into the SAP design from the start rather than retrofitting them.
• Serve as the senior technical authority for SAP finance through design and configuration reviews, prototypes, and hands‑on resolution of the hardest FICO configuration and integration problems, mentoring functional analysts and junior architects.

Basic Qualifications

• 10+ years of IT development or implementation/consulting in the software or Internet industries experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of SAP systems (like SAP Business Suite, S/4HANA, SAP Business Warehouse, SAP HANA, SAP Business Objects, etc.) and their architecture and infrastructure needs
• Experience working with end user or developer communities
• Experience managing relationships with SAP customers and partners
• Experience in SAP S/4HANA, SAP Cloud Platform, SAP Cloud ERP and Cloud ERP Private
• Experience in SAP clean core design concepts, including design and build using non-SAP technologies in domains such as Generative / Agentic AI, and data & analytics
